Assumptions: (1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 are applicable. (2) The section is symmetrically reinforced. (3) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column. (4) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using an iterative procedure: (1) The column design charts are constructed. (2) An area steel is chosen. (3) The corresponding slenderness moments are calculated. (4) The design axis and design ultimate moment is determined . (5) The steel required for the design axial force and moment is read from the relevant design chart. (6) The procedure is repeated until the convergence of the area steel about the design axis. (7) The area steel perpendicular to the design axis is read from the relevant design chart. (8) The procedure is repeated for each load case. (9) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the largest steel area about the design axis.

Through inspection: Load case 3 (12) is critical.

Check column slenderness:

End fixity and bracing for bending about the X-X axis: At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed). At the bottom end: Condition 2 (partially fixed). The column is unbraced. x = 1.50 End fixity and bracing for bending about the Y-Y axis: At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed). At the bottom end: Condition 2 (partially fixed). The column is unbraced. y = 1.50 Effective column height: lex = x Lo = 9.900 m ley = y Lo = 9.900 m Check if the column is slender: lex/h = 16.5 > 10 ley/b = 16.5 > 10 The column is slender. Check slenderness limit: Lo = 6.600 m < 60 b' = 36.000 m Slenderness limit not exceeded.

Check for miminum eccentricity: For bi-axial bending, it is only necessary to ensure that the eccentricity excceeds the minimum about one axis at a time. For the worst effect, apply the minimum eccentricity about the minor axis: Use emin = 20mm Mmin = 26.9 kNm about the Y-Y axis.

Design of column section for ULS:

Through inspection: The critical section lies at the top end of the column. The column is bi-axially bent and may be designed to withstand an increased moment about a single axis: Mx/h = 4096.7 > My/b = 266.3 The effective uniaxial design moment about the X-X axis: = 1 - 7/6 N/(b h fcu) = 0.876 M'x = Mx + h/b My = 2381.4 kNm For bending about the design axis:
